Nope, I also got the TT handguards, but only got some resonance from the dash/cockpit between 3500-4000rpm(and only when fully fueled up!). Otherwise it's smooth like a baby's butt! And that for a thumper, great job Yamaha.

Are the vibes 'unusual' or just ones that come with the territory of riding a big single?
The Ten is the first big thumper i've owned and at first i didn't think it was normal! Got used to it a bit now although i took my friends zzr1400 out yesterday for a spin, wow, what a piece of work it was..
I find that the really intrusive vibes chime in at about 4.5 - 5k rpm.

Hammerhead - not guilty i'm afraid! I tend to use the Ten for commuting mainly so i'm found trawling from north london enfield area down towards parliament area (and no, i'm not an MP! )

Vibrations do get a lot less with age, and keeping the heavy bar-ends does make a difference.

Personally I can cruise at 5.5-6k rpm and hardly notice the vibration (13k miles on the clock however). I used to get a load of extra vibes around 4k rpm but that went by about 4,000 miles. Seemed to smooth out again arount 9,000 miles.

I'd say wind buffeting is far more an issue, and then only really at high speeds (for me anyway)

Vibrations (of the bad kind)

Hammerhead, I have exactly the same setup, with the taller Puig screen and Touratech hand guards. I have tried a few different ways to replace the 450 gram bar end weights as without them, I found that the resonance at 4000 to 4500 rpm turned my hands numb after around 300km.
I really like the TT guards and they are very neatly engineered with the small aluminum adapters for the end of the bars, and I did not want to have to loose them. So, after some experimentation I was able to keep them and re-fit the original end-weights.
In the attached photos you will see that I moved the levers (clutch and brake) inward about 7mm and I used a 16mm diameter washer in the end of the bar for about 1.2mm extra clearance. The result is that the levers still clear everything, the TT guards still clear the Puig screen at full lock and my hands no longer go numb and almost drop off!
Just one more small adjustment to make and that is to clear a little bit of plastic with a dremel where the original end weights screw through the guards and into the end of the bars, this will make it fit nice and flush for that "factory", look, just add a drop of thread lock and we are done!

Nice job, Wayne. I'll be doing that if my TT handguards ever arrive
